Google has removed Driving Mode from the Maps app.  If you want to use maps it requires a destination so it can navigate your travel.  

At one time driving mode displayed your current speed, the speed limit for the road as well as traffic information.  

Does Waze have a driving mode?  Something you can see speed limits, speed traps, red light cameras and traffic information without navigation?

I don't really care about speed traps and red light cameras, it is usually a package deal with the speed limit display.

Waze still has driving mode. The IGlet uses it pretty much all the time, for exactly that reason, but he doesn't want to be distracted by the display so he puts the phone face-down and just hears the alerts.

I'm surprised that Google Maps and Waze are still two separate apps. I know they've merged a lot together but the apps are still separate.

I am not looking for driving instructions, at one time GMaps had a driving mode that would list your current location on the map, your speed, and the speed limit.  There was nothing to alert.... (maybe a speed trap?)

I was looking for the speed limit to be displayed on the screen, and in red if I was going over the speed limit.  A basic "You are here" with speed and speed limit displayed.

I think Osmand has that, but only coupled with navigation mode (aka driving instructions).

If you use CarPlay, the maps will display speed limit on screen

Waze still has driving mode. I uninstalled Waze vecause my phone was short on space, but at the time it was still there.

This weekend I installed "Youtube Vanced" on my phone. I figured it would have all sorts of hidden badness but so far it seems like it doesn't do anything other than what it's supposed to. I'll keep an eye on it, of course.

Youtube Vanced is an Android client for Youtube that blocks all of the ads.
You have to sideload it, of course.

As a long time developer of both Rooms software and Mail software, I accept Google's acknowledgement that I can design anything better than they can.
